22 hospitalized during, after Avicii concert, CTPost, 4/22/12.
The number of those hospitalized after being entertained by the up-and-coming Swedish electronic musician was more than any local concert in recent memory, according to a spokesperson at St. Vincent's Medical Center, which treated and released 12 patients.

You should check out this radio show on WFMU, playlist and archives here: http://wfmu.org/playlists/NI The DJ used to to have a show on WZBC for years, but moved to New York. I think he's right up your alley.

I'm familiar with the system of stations like WFMU, ZBC etc, but I don't listen to radio anymore, just an iPod.

I was at a Thanksgiving reunion a year or so or go and it was depressing.

I use google plus in ways that resemble my old DJ days. My following at Google is about on par with U Hub at Face book so I'll periodically roam and share stuff.

In many ways it is orders of magnitude better than radio. Where I use to listen to field recordings of Pontic Greek music, now I can watch people actually doing it and the sound quality is fine for my crappy ears.

I can watch Sonny Rollins on Italian TV in the 60s with Ornettes band. Don Cherry looks like a gangster. It rocks.

And fun stuff happens like introducing an Indonesian woman I know to a Thai version of a Horace Silver Jazz standard, "Song For My Father" cause the woman was missing her dad.

She's also fond of Burgundian Polyphony.

In a way, doing stuff at Google Plus is like playing your life as a dj. The totality of your lore.passed around this vast cyber campfire with a planetful of strangers you get to befriend.

I don't use Facebook but I have a feeling it doesn't quite roll that way as it builds out from clan structures.

He's kind of up there in age at 46 and has been rocking for some time now. I don't think it's inappropriate to call him that, certainly one of the pioneers of electronic music.

I also don't think it means he doesn't still put on great shows - because he and a lot of the older guys still do them better than ever (and certainly much better than Avicii's dreck)

Also, all the press around this focuses on "drugs" but the vast majority all sounds strictly alcohol related, and the few issues actually with drugs boil down to bad public policy and lack of education. I hate the media.

Oh yeah because the minute medical people hear/see drugs as apart of the story, its automatically the cause... hook, line, and sinker. It goes back to the whole "drugs are bad" attitude (rather than doing the smart thing and treat it like a public health issue and not a criminal issue)

Sure the drugs made you over heat, but in reality the cause of people's issues last night was the heat, not the drugs because if a person was not overheated, we wouldn't be talking about this today.

And I also want to add that this "hysteria" against drug use is part of the problem. If we stopped this "drugs are bad" attitude and start EDUCATING people about usage, these issues would not happen at all.

But no, we'd rather not talk about it or sum it up with "drugs are bad" instead of giving users knowledge that will save their lives.

Seriously, I don't understand this. I've never attended an event in the Toronto Dominion Garden, but judging from pictures, isn't it all mostly seating? What is the point of playing music people will want to dance to, in a place where they can't dance?
